Indications:

Efavirenz is also used in conjunction with other anti-retroviral agents as part of an expanded postexposure prophylaxis regimen to prevent HIV transmission for those exposed to materials associated with a high risk for HIV transmission.

For HIV-1 infection that has not previously been treated, Efavirenz and Lamivudine in combination with Zidovudine or Tenofovir is the preferred NNRTI-based regimen.

MOA (mechanism of action):

Efavirenz is a synthetic non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor with potent antiviral activity. Efavirenz binds directly to the HIV-1 RT, an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, suppressing its function in viral DNA replication. In combination with other anti-retroviral drugs, Efavirenz has been shown to dramatically reduce HIV viral load, halting or preventing damage to the immune system and decreasing the risk of developing AIDS. Efavirenz isn't active against HIV-2.

Dosage

For adults and children 12 years of age and older: 300 mg tablet each day.

For adults with kidney problems, Efavir® may be taken less often.

Adults and children 12 years of age and older who cannot swallow Efavir® tablets are usually prescribed Efavirenz oral powder.

For children 2-12 years of age, the right dose of Efavirenz oral powder or tablets based on the child’s body weight will be prescribed.

Precautions:

HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact with HIV positive partner, blood (e.g., sharing needles, handling blood instruments, receiving blood transfusions, blood products, or organ/tissue transplants that were infected with HIV), childbirth, toiletries (razors and toothbrushes).Therefore, both HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals are advised to have any kind of sex using a latex or polyurethane condom, avoid sharing needles or other things like toothbrushes or razors.
